I’m Fifteen
By Lisa Noe


A hard time is to be had
Because being fifteen can sure be bad
Hormones raging and the boys rough
I ought to know when I’ve had enough

Fifteen can be happy because you look your best
Young and beautiful who cares about the rest
Well that’s not me I’m afraid I’m really shy
I’m afraid that I will never find a guy.

High school friends they are the best
These are the days you will feel blessed
Some remember fondly their friends,
While others want the memories to end.

Bullies beat you blue that’s bad,
And with those memories you’ll be sad,
But I remember happy times
Fifteen, that rings my chimes.
